I learned a lot about religion this quarter, and I really enjoyed that we had the freedom to learn about religions that interested us. I chose the topic of religious leaders being portrayed through art because I've always said that I don't think it's right that people stereotype gods/spiritual leaders into the human favorite qualities. I also wanted to learn about how/why other religions portrayed their spiritual/religious leaders and why. I learned a lot about the religions, and cultures that accompany the religions through the art that the religions have. It was an interesting and new persepective at religion, because art really can open your eyes to things unseen. I think I did a pretty good job overall, and I am proud of my final product! I think the strengths vs. weaknesses were that I was not good at formatting my information into a brochure, and I had to cut a lot out.
